>  In  early  fall  >. 

When  the  world  is  still, 
There  comes  a  call 
By. river  and  hill,— 

A  breath  of  the  passion 

Of  Wilding  Land 
No  lips  can  fashion, 

No  heart  withstand. 

The  scarlet  cry 

Of  a  bugle's  wail 
Goes  fading  by 

On  a  lonely  trail; 

And  the  heart  of  the  t«»r 

Is  braced  and  sev 
In  battle  geOi^ 

For  the  agfes  yet. 

Once  through  the  arch 
Of  the  Autumn  wood, 

I  saw  the  march 
Of  a  giant  brood. 

I  heard  no  tread 

Of  the  warriors  there. 
But  the  hills  were  red 

With  the  bugles*  blare; 

On  the  shadowy  quest 
That  is  never  done, 

They  strode  abreast 
Of  the  wheeling  sun; 

With  no  retreat. 

Through  the  hazy  flume 
They  marched  to  beat 

At  the  gates  of  dopm; 

For  these  were  they 
Whom  glory  sealed 

In  the  brunt  of  the  fray 
Qn  Sombre  Field. 

By  a  goblin  road. 


By  a  goblin  road« 

Where  the  crimson  line 
Of  maples  glowed 

In  the  deep  blue  pine, 

Throng  npon'throng 
They  gathered  and  grew, 

And  all  day  long 
On  the  hills  they  blew. 

And>veril  dream 
Of  a  host  since  then, 

Aikl  the  moving  gleam 
Of  marching  men. 

My  heart  is  hot 

With  the  bugles'  cry; 
And  tiring  not, 

Tho  the  world  go  by, 

Possessed  and  wild, 

I  must  on  and  on 
Like  a  marching  child 

With  the  warriors  wan. 

But  the  low  wind  veers, 
And  the  sun  recedes 

Through  the  leveled  spears 
Of  the  river  reeds,— 

Back  to  the  dim 

Auroral  vast 
Pale  twilight  rim 

Of  the  world  at  last. 

To  the  great  release, 

Where  all  trails  wend, 
And  there  is  peace 
^  At  the  Autumn's  end. 

To  that  still  land 

All  things  depart; 
The  fondling  hand 

And  the  foolish  heart; 

The  dear  spent  youth 
Of  triumph  and  hate; 

The  dear  bought  truth 
From  the  lips>f  fate; 

The  beautiful  ghost 
Qf  a  perished  prime. 

Wandered  and  lost 
On  the  moors  of  time; 

The  April  days 
With  their  shining  hours, 


With  their  shining  hours, 
The  woodland  ways 
And  the  forest  flowers; 

The  stir  that  wakes 
In  a  swallow's  wing 

When  slumber  aches 
At  the  heart  of  Spring; 

The  pulse  that  swells 
In  sapling  and  seed 

When  the  frozen  wells 
Of  the  North  are  freed; 

The  sigh  that  passed 
In  a  lull  of  the  rain 

To  the  outer  vast, 
On  the  long>efrain; 

The  grievous  plight 
Of  the  whippoorwiUs, 

Teasing  the  night 
In  the  summer  hills; 

The  hermit  thrush 
With  his  golden  dream; 

The  murmuring  hush 
Of  the  arrowy  stream; 

The  noonday  rest 
Of  the  drowsy  hern; 

The  unknown  quest 
Of  the  wandering  tern; 

iSplendor  and  scorn 
And  ruin  and  sleep; 

The  windy  morn 
And  the  blue  deep; 

Tjiie  drift  sea-fogs 
That  whiten  the  sun; 

The  piping  frogs 
In  Spring  begun; 

The  core  of  life 

In  a  buried  hope, 
That  sprang  to  strife 

In  the  larger  scope, 

And  warred  on  doom 
To  the  bitter  end,    . 

In  the  outer  gloom 
With  death  for  friend; 

Through  the  open  door, 
The  days  untold 


Through  the  open  door, 

The  days  untold 
That  come  no  more 

Though  Spring  grows  old : 

All  these  go  down 

To  night  on  the  hills; 
And  their  renown. 

As  a  babble  of  rills, 

Through  the  lips  of  fame 

Shall  pass  and  die. 
Bat  one  clear  name 

Isa  thing  to  cry 

In  the  bugles  of  God, 
When  the  brave  are  fiew 

And  the  flowering  sod 
Has  a  crimson  dew, 

Till  the  heart  of  man  / 

Is  at  rest  and  set  free, 
And  time  is  a  span  y  ' 

Of  the  wind  on  the  sea.
